Davion's answer to the Lyran's medium Blitzkrieg design, the Legionnaire
is a fast, well armored medium 'Mech built around a single weapon
system. Originally designed with a single rotary autocannon slaved
to a sophisticated targeting computer, the Legionnaire become known
for its deadly accuracy after its production began during the Word
of Blake Jihad. The export version, produced for sale to the Republic
after the war, swaps the rotary cannon in favor of a less sophisticated
variety, but retains the same targeting capabilties for increased
accuracy. The Legionnaire was one of the last new designs to be mass-produced
by the Achernar BattleMech factory of the Federated Suns, before the
plant was scaled back after the formation of the Republic.
